Who We Are

No one should have to fight their way out alone.

Addiction, homelessness, and other crises are isolating experiences.
And when you feel like no one sees you, no one hears you, and no one cares, hope can feel impossible.

At The Hope Dealer Community, hope is more than just an idea—it’s a person, a conversation, a community that refuses to give up on you. We believe in healing through human connection. We meet people exactly where they are, without judgment or conditions, offering immediate access to detox, treatment, mental health care, and the essentials needed to survive today. 

But survival isn’t the end goal—thriving is…

Our Truth

We do more than provide resources. We build relationships. We connect people with mentors who’ve walked this path and made it through. We surround them with support groups, recovery partners, and a network of people who see their worth, even when they can’t see it themselves.

Founded by those who’ve lived it and rooted in the community, we show up again and again—until everyone searching for hope has the chance to rebuild, grow, and thrive. Because recovery isn’t just about healing—it’s about reclaiming life. And here, no one has to do it alone.

The foundational scripture for our work is Luke 4:15-19.
He (Jesus) went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

.רוּחַ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, עָלָי--יַעַן מָשַׁח יְהוָה אֹתִי לְבַשֵּׂר עֲנָוִים, שְׁלָחַנִי לַחֲבֹשׁ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי-לֵב, לִקְרֹא לִשְׁבוּיִם דְּרוֹר, וְלַאֲסוּרִים פְּקַח-קוֹחַ.
לִקְרֹא שְׁנַת-רָצוֹן לַיהוָה, וְיוֹם נָקָם לֵאלֹהֵינוּ, לְנַחֵם, כָּל-אֲבֵלִים.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to captives, recovery of sight to the blind, healing to the brokenhearted, freedom to those who are oppressed, downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy, and to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”

An older man with gray hair, wearing a black jacket and gray pants, walks down an alley carrying a shopping cart filled with clothes and bags. Piles of trash and clothing are on the sidewalk to the right, behind a gray wall. The alley is enclosed by residential houses and a chain-link fence, with a yellow building visible in the background.
